Abstract The illicit transnational activities have been an important source of cooperation among the states in recent years. The signature and promulgation of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and two of its Additional Protocols by Brazil, in the early years of the 2000s, demonstrate recognition of the seriousness of the problem and the need to promote and enhance close international cooperation aiming to face and, at the same time, to minimize the consequences arising from organized crime and human trafficking. Similarly, the processing and approval of these international commitments by the National Congress highlight the efforts of the Brazilian Executive and Legislative Powers to adapt our legal system to a pressing issue on the international level, with particular consequences and repercussions on the domestic level. Also in this sense, in 2006, through a joint initiative of several government agencies was drafted and approved the National Policy to Fight Human Trafficking, the most important national initiative coping with this activity. That said, the goal of this work is to understand (1) the domestic agenda-setting of human trafficking in Brazil; (2) the decision-making process that culminated in the drafting of the National Policy to Fight Human Trafficking.
